BBL

Nirvana Plastic Surgery

What is BBL?

BBL stands for Broadband Light – an innovative technology that uses photorejuvenation therapy to help produce your most gorgeous complexion yet. BBL technology simultaneously heats up the dermis to trigger collagen production, all while directing carefully selected wavelengths to hyperpigmentation and other dark marks at the treatment site. The end goal is to create smoother, more radiant skin that looks years younger.

Candidates for BBL

The best candidates for BBL treatments are individuals who have pronounced hyperpigmentation from aging or sun damage. Not everyone will be a candidate for BBL treatments; for example, patients with darker skin tones may need to undergo a different laser treatment, as BBL has difficult targeting hyperpigmentation against the darker skin tone.

How Does It Work?

A BBL treatment can be used on any part of the body that suffers from hyperpigmentation. The laser creates heat energy, which is used to penetrate the dermis; once the skin is heated up, it triggers the body’s collagen production. At the same time, the personalized wavelength functionality allows your esthetician to direct pulses of light at dark spots on the complexion. These darker spots absorb the light energy, causing them to break down and eventually disappear from the patient’s complexion.

Is It Painful?

The BBL treatment isn’t painful, but some patients do find it uncomfortable. If you’re worried, your esthetician can use a topical numbing cream to help prep your skin before your procedure.

Is There Any Downtime?

There’s no physical downtime associated with the treatment, so you can go about your normal daily routine. However, we do recommend that you take a day off after your treatment, as your skin will appear red and flushed. Your skin will also be sensitive to UV rays, so it’s important to keep it protected with sunscreen and covered from the sun. After 24 hours, any resulting redness or swelling should be resolved.
